    it looks great, it has massive and (visually) intense but terribly mediocre and boring Combat.

    you create your character and use single click attacks until you're done within 45-60 seconds.

    can not recommend this game at all..

    Even though i personally love this game and it kills me to give it a 6, I honestly believe the average player and reader will rate this game between 4-6.
    Campaign is horrible, but the fighting is where the game shines. This game SHINES in FRIENDLY COMPETITION. Fight friends, it's a 8/10 when you play that way.

    I do enjoy playing this game but I really wish they'd given them better interactions during the little intro fight things.

    JJBA had a decent enough preflight dialog at least in my opinion they did.

What was supposed to be a celebration of Shonen Jump's 50th Anniversary, has been a sub-par, broken down game that remains a shell of what it could, and should have been. Gameplay still remains broken, fragmented, and outrageous, whether playing online or offline. With bad framerate, and uncertain defense moves, it is frustrating nearly all the time. The story is also not entertaining. The characters all have the same expressions no matter the context, and the story comes down to, each hero fighting a villain, then the villain turns and walks away. While it may have good looking visuals, they end up static due to the framerate. A celebration that simply brings favorite characters together, but not much else. Expand

    I could have been a little better with actually going the smash ultimate way by showing what anime a character was from. It was a cool idea at first but it felt mostly empty.

    Once you get over the bizarre visual style, what you are left with is mediocre fighting game with the only real appeal being the anime/manga properties. Mediocrity is the key word here. Everyone giving this a 0 or a 10 is just trolling.

    I feel like people nowadays just decide to be biased about everything. Story mode and cutscenes could have definitely been more polished but realistically that is not the reason to buy a fighting game. In that aspect the game really shines. Each character has some sort of a small learning and can also get very tense in close matches leaving a feeling of satisfaction if one succeeds.

    CAC sucks only 3 styles and no weapon... you can't even equip every special or final move (wtf just copy xenoverse!!! so easy)... very low quantity/quality of the base roster... many other games have 60-100 characters... this celebrates the 50th anniversary and offer only 40... gladly I canceled the pre-order but i am still sad and angry because i had high expectations for this game

    This is the worst game I have ever played, you do minimal damage with your ultimate while the enemy will take away almost all of your health with a single combo

    This game has one of the best fighting engine ever developed for 3D fighting games
    its not like xenoverse or storm its better.This game doesnt give you
    substitution/stamina
    meter to dodge.Instead like BT3 2007 you must earn it by pressing R1 to dodge before your about to be hit
    and even while you get hit by opponents combos,you need to press square before your about to be hit to counter. This is so thrilling its like parrying in Dark Sools 3 . Truly the best can rise by great concentration.

    Why not a 10 rating
    - Jump Force created character combos cant be changed i hate battle type A B C
    i want battle type custom, sword style zorro. This is limited like Xenoverse 2
    no custom combos, Allow us to edit/ copy real characters combo strings like S calibur 6
    -more new costumes more colours with future update ?
    - 2 ultimate's maybe ?
    - colour change for all moves ?
    - awakening mode for created characters ?
    - energy power up colour change for created characters ?
    - more DLC characters from rurouni kenshin and bleach and katekyo hitman ?
    - more harder mission with good loot to grind level 500 enemies ?
    - pvp rematch option ?

    Future of Jump Force ( Battle Changes needed with Patch update )
    0. Maybe add low and high blocking like Dbz BT3 ?
    1. Make the ( R1 high speed dodge) same as (Dbz BT 3 rapid movement O ) properties
    that it cant be spammed by players that try to press R1 multiple times repeatedly in hope of doing
    a high speed dodge. Instead they can press it 1 time only in that moment. Refer to Dbz BT3
    examples of tapping O for rapid movement.

    2. Also id like the high speed counter (square) and high speed dodge (R1) to not consume mobility gauge And still should be allowed to be used even in a Red state Why
    This is especially needed for those in a red gauge state as it takes away fighting chance to fight back in a bad situation,It takes away fighting chance to counter/dodge opponents combos/supers.
    For the attacker it becomes easy to beat on them as they know they wont be able to escape their combo strings/supers (This feature is needed to escape endless combo spams players have found to take 70% of a Players life in a single engagement) ( another thing jump force can learn from Dbz BT 3 rapid movement O that it consumes no gauge to do but solely reliant upon a player ability to time it)

    3. lastly allowing players who have been sent flying/lifted into the air to Do a High speed Dodge (R1) if timed correctly to escape incoming supers / ultimate. As players are taking advantage of this missing feature and connecting (various supers,grapples connecting a definite ultimate attack that do 80% damage of a players life in one loop)

    Dislikers
    Give this game time it will get better like xenoverse 2 Collapse

    Nice game. 2 bad things is long loading and characters. Could be more characters and updates for them or additional movement with different look.
    Lack of Katakuri from One Piece. Yuno and Yami from Black Clover. Some characters from Dragon Ball and Naruto/Boruto and Bleach.
    I want to see better crossover. Lack of Fairy Tail, Nanatsu no taizai, One Punch Man

    Story is something you have seen for the 348th time. Its like a 4 years old made the story.

    The fighting in the game is actually not bad but not well made. Especially when the enemy blocks, u can't do much except grabbing him or load your Auto-attack. When u grab the enemy it doesn't to much dmg but throwing him for like 30m away and can't even combo him afterwards. When u try to load your Auto-attack its a big punishment for yourself cause it takes to long. So the enemy can cancel his block and immediately cast his ability or even his ultimate and you can't do anything about it but took huge dmg especially when enemy uses his ultimate.
    But the greatest thing when your fighting against AI, u do absoluetly no dmg and AI uses 2-3 Skills and your dead. Every Skill, punch,grab or combos are dealing much much much much more Dmg when Ai is doing it.
    Example: You cast your Ultimate attack and you do about 8%-15% Dmg but when Ai is using Ult it does 40%-60% Dmg. Its super mega ultra ridiculous and frustrating at the same time. Your using so much Combos and skills and the AI still has 40%Hp left. But they do 1 combo and ult and your dead. What is this????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The most disappointment in the game are the Cosmetics (Outfit/Armor/Clothes). There is absolutley nothing new or special but the same Outfits there are already in the game like u can buy an outfit for goku, vegeta, ruffy, midoriya, ect . U can buy single armor-pieces and combine them but there is no a Wow-effect. U can dress the same as naruto or gaara or combine them together, thats it. Bandai didn't make anything on their own, like outfits that aren't in the Anime-universe, u know something that u can actually combine together and say: wow thats sick. Absolutely nothing new. Its depressing. The worst they did to cosmetics are that u can't even change colors???

    Example: There are like 5 Piccolo shoulder armors (those with wide shoulders) that are white but each with different t-shirt-color. So if you buy one armor that has a t-shirt with the color pink but u want it do be red u have to buy that armor piece again for 5k gold....... Sad.

    Jogo muito bom. Os gráficos são lindos, principalmente dos especiais e das arenas.
    A luta está muito boa e dinâmica, personagens equilibrados, tendo vantagens e desvantagens, tanto em golpes quanto em defesas elementais. Uma série de personagens. Muito divertido. Acho que as vezes a crítica e as pessoas pegam pesado meio que sem motivo. Único problema do game são os loadings meio grandes.

    Although there are some bugs in the game, with their new latest patch Bandai has shown that they read and listened to the audiences' feedback so far. Therefore, I think they just need more time to fix and complete the game. And Jump Force does not deserve to take zero points.

    Anyways if you love fast past fighting games that keep you on the edge of your seat and you have split seconds to choose your method of attack this is for you.

    I think other fight fans dont like it because its not a game where you learn a combo and go in a match with it premeditated knowing it works against 90% of your opponents because you have more hours into the game practicing it. You literally haved to adapt to every match and every opponent within split seconds to be victorious.Matches are pretty intense and there is always a comeback factor even if you are down a round.

    I dont think some of the old heads can wrap their head around this.

    Anyways dont listen to these powerhouse sites giving it a bad reviews its a fun fast paced intense game.

    Aspectos positivos? pues bueno los hay
    Como por ejemplo los escenarios que es lo mejor del juego pero tampoco es la panacea
    y despues el detalle de que un personaje es dañado este pierde la ropa y empieza a sangre
    Conclusion: Me parece un juego malo sin mas,el que le gusta bien por el y que lo disfrute pero para mi me parece mal juego
    Y me atrevo decir que hasta es mejor el My Hero One Justice y el J Stars es una obra maestra comparada con Jump Force

    Si profundizamos en los demás aspectos nos encontramos con un juego mediocre a más no poder, con un aparatado técnico que destaca en algunos aspectos como la iluminación o las partículas, gracias al uso del UE4, pero tiene deficiencias, sobre todo en el diseño de los personajes y ciertas animaciones.

    El juego se estructura mediante un sistema de lobby, muy similar al que utilizaba DB Xenoverse. Desde allí podremos acceder al modo historia, el cual deja mucho que desear y esta repleto de tiempos de carga sin razón alguna; y misiones online y offline, asñi como tiendas para personalizar a nuestro personaje.

    El sistema de combate es muy similar al de los DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi, esta vez con hasta equipos de tres, la principal pega reside en que la barra de salud es compartida entre todos los luchadores, lo cual hace que los combates sean demasiado cortos, podrían simplemente haber elegido un sistema similar al de los Naruto UNS o que cada luchador tuviese barra de salud propia.

    Las mecánicas de por si ya son simples y el HUD tampoco da muchas pistas sobre ciertos elementos como el tiempo de recarga de los apoyos.

    Si buscas un arena fighter al estilo de los Naruto / Budokai recomendaria alejarse de este juego o esperar a una buena rebaja.

    It’s really pretty to look at, but at its core, Jump Force is an unimaginative, derivative, distinctly average fighting game. It could potentially interest hardcore manga and anime fans thanks to its myriad characters, but that’s about it.

    A fighting game that won’t appeal to anyone. Newcomers won’t be endeared to the Shonen Jump series, and longtime fans will know there’s better out there. [Issue#160, p.96]

    Jump Force has plenty of potential and source material to work from, but falls flat. It is a little disappointing to see such a beloved franchise celebrate its 50th anniversary with Jump Force. The only thing that the game has going for it is the graphics. The story is dull. The combat is disorienting. Unfortunately, Jump Force does not live up to the hype.
